As a Bengali, the coup in 2021 was devastating to us. Many of us thought that if democracy continued in Myanmar that the situation with the Rohingya Genocide could be diplomatically resolved with diplomatically minded leader, eventually. However, the border has become a hostile area as the Bengali Military and BGB are stationed there. The military has been amassing there for years because of recent suspicion of military buildup from Tatmadaw, incursions from the Arakan Army, and 30 years worth of border friction and conflict ever since 1991. Many of the citizens and refugees of the region constantly hear the firing of machine guns and mortars in Rakhine from the Tatmadaw. The Bengali government have also begun the relocation of Rohingya refugees to Bhasan Char Island to the dismay of human rights activists working there. Myanmar’s tragic history sits on all of our shoulders during this crisis.

It's a chain reaction. If your country is a dictatorship regime and somehow, it works and give you prosperity, you would want it to continue. When that regime failed, you would want to replace it but still be in a dictatorship bcuz the regime worked before so maybe it would continue to work in the future. That's why Russia became Communist rather than a democracy after ww1. The dictatorship of the Tsarist regime made them a great power so why changed? Just some reform is enough.

@@AL-lh2ht I think we have different views on the subjects so it is hard for me to explain. Russian citizens have 2 short era of democracy. And both of them sucks. The first was The Russian Revolution which handed the power to the Menshevik before the rise of the Bolshevik. Russia faced WW1 at the time and famine everywhere. So when a man called Lenin said that he could fix everything, the people cheer and gave him all the power which created the dictatorship Soviet Regime we all know and love. The second was after the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of Putin, citizens were given rights by the idiotic Boris Yeltsin in hope that his country can develop like the West. Fun fact, no. Yeltsin sold every industry that held by the government to the monopoly corporations of the West which damned the economy and created the well-known Russian oligarchs. Then, history repeated itself. Putin claimed that he would fix everything and brought back the golden age of Russia, the people cheered and gave him all the power to create a dictatorial Putin regime. So here is the question, why did the Russian people gave so much political power to one man so he could create a dictatorship? There are many answers but my answer is Tsarist regime. Back in the day, the Tsar conquered the Siberia, Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth and created the Russian EMPIRE. (An empire before the colonial era was seen as extremely prestigious and only held by countries that said to be heir of Rome, the HRE and the Byzantium so the fact that Russia could join that club made them prestigious among the Europeans). That's why I said, Tsarist regime worked. When one man could made your country from a barbaric backward state (Russia was seen as barbaric Mongol's slaves during the time) to a prestigious heir of Rome, you know your system is good.

Also, I found ASEAN very anticlimactic, because in around 2010 when ASEAN was opening up, there were lots of ads to build hype and we even had to attend classes to memorize ASEAN stuff.

@@wintermanthenforcer I agree in your sentiment that the founding members of ASEAN are basically dictators. Also, I came to realize that by the time ASEAN was founded, we really have no viable external threats to guard against so collective security really is not an option (China was just starting to liberalize its economy under Deng, the US did not pose any threat and entered Vietnam at the invitation of the South Vietnamese government, the Soviets were too busy with the Eastern Bloc). Basically, we were busy with our turbulent internal affairs that we did not have time to forge a military alliance like NATO or the CSTO or the ANZUS did. For me tho, ASEAN seems to have a bright future if we just manage it well. And yes, ASEAN things are also being taught here too (kinda boring, my teachers weren't that good at explaining the individual cultures of member countries). It might take a bit of time though, since hey, we existed long before the EU did and yet the EU already has a single market, a common visa (Schengen), and a common currency (euro). Unfortunately, many of ASEAN member countries (PH is one) are still stuck in the backward colonial policies left by our former colonizers and continue to haunt our political systems.

Myanmar is a country with a long, violent history. Prior to even British colonisation, Burma had some various powerful dynasties, but these dynasties were never centralised like that of Siam or Vietnam enjoyed. In fact, Burma's ancient and medieval expansionist nature was rooted from the country's very unfortunate terrains. If you look at their territory, the country is surrounded by mountains. The Burmese majority lived entirely in the Irrawaddy basin, a very fertile paddy region. However, being surrounded by mountainous tribes, many have never accepted Burmese suzerainty, made it difficult. Unfortunately, the Burmese never developed a naval tradition, which made Burma effectively blockaded, so their only option was to expand from land. However, the north lies China, a very powerful empire, which Burma constantly had to live in fear; the west lies mountainous terrains belong to India today, places where easy to go, but hard to control nor even returning, with many tribes refusing Burmese authorities. So what could Burma do? They went eastward. But that meant clashing with the Siamese and Laotians. Especially Siam, a country with a similar culture but far more prosperous and internationalised. And the Siamese were not in the mood to accept Burmese at all. This explained why Burma and Siam went to wars so many times. In order to defeat the Siamese, the Burmese relied heavily on the ethnic minorities to fight wars, even though these minorities were not really cooperative with the Burmese. This was why Burma had been under constant state of rebellions even during wars. The Mongols in the past, the Siamese and, to a smaller extent the Chinese, understood Burmese internal divisions and tried to weaponise it several times (for example during the Qing invasions), but the British were far more cunning and they even realised that the Burmese had no navy at the time. After losing a significant number of battles in Assam to the Burmese in 1824, the British used their superior navy to attack the Burmese and this reversed Burmese fortune of war, allowing Britain to win, though with a heavy cost for both. And this war changed British policy on Burma forever, leading to the buildup of what is now. A policy of Britain that unleashed favouritism on Muslims and Christians, and alienation of Burmese Buddhists. Hence the conflicts and miseries.

Tensions between ethnic minority and the majority bamar were already a thing. Burmese warlords would often capture ethnic tribes and force them into labor or as maid. The Pyu was an ancient collection of kingdoms centuries before the first Burmese kingdom and many of the ethnic minorities claim that the Pyu was their ancient kingdom and that they were direct descendants of it and as such thing angered Burmese leaders who destroyed artifacts and records, leaving the Pyu with little historical records. The Bamars and ethnic minorities never got along since the Burmese first came.

Apart from the visa application I planned to try and not give the Junta a cent while there but ended up caving and paid $2 usd to swim in the pool of an army owned hotel in Mandalay (it was and is still the hottest place I've ever been to), this meant I had to sneak into most areas as there 'tolls' imposed on many areas to visit. I managed to lie and/or bluff my way out of a couple of run ins with the authorities.

With regards to common language, I think the Indonesian founders did a brilliant job. The original plan was to adopt Javanese, but that would have advantaged the Javanese at the cost of others, and possibly led to the situation in Burma between the Bamar and minority peoples. Instead they decided: let's use a language (Malay) that almost no one speaks natively, as the Indonesian language. That way, since everyone is starting from 0, it's a lot fairer for people across the nation.

I don't think there's anything wrong with him criticising Christian missionaries. Maybe it's controversial to Christians in the West but from an Asian perspective, it's understandable. Missionaries only prey on the vulnerable, that's why it's always the lowest people in society that end up becoming Christians whereas those higher up and educated don't convert. It's the northern tribes in Myanmar that are Christians (whereas the majority Bamar people remain Buddhists), same thing in other areas of Asia like India and Nepal (poor people, tribals and those from low caste backgrounds become Christians). East, South and Southeast Asia seem to be a fascination point for Christian missionaries because most people aren't Christians or believers of an Abrahamic faith. So people try to really make it a goal of theirs to convert locals. A lot of Western missionaries and Korean missionaries travel to remote locations in South and Southeast Asia to convert poor people to Christianity using incentives like rice, medicine, money to create schools and institutions etc. People get upset because it erodes the local culture and sows the seeds for future conflict by changing the demography of an area (e.g. now the whole of north-western Myanmar is Christian).

@@davidbowie5023 Christianity's high presence in many parts of the world is because it was intrinsically linked to colonialism. The Christian groups you see all today in Myanmar began converting to the religion when the British colonised the region and began converting tribals who practiced animist traditions to Christianity. It was then easier to get these people on your side and use them as a buffer between other groups and using them as a pawn in conquering and dividing the region. There is a famous saying from Desmond Tutu, "When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land".

As of today, Myanmar seems to be on the brink of having its military collapse from a concentrated push by all the different rebel groups, with the government controlling only a fraction of the country anymore mostly in the cities of the heartland. Simultaneously the question of what happens once most likely eventually the military loses is a tricky one, as a likely possibility seems to be the descent of the different factions into yet another civil war over power, while the PDF's ability to form a continuation of the democratically elected government remains to be seen.

The good thing is the territories between these groups don't overlap so it's less likely for a quarrel to happen after this whole thing. The PDF is mostly under the NUG, so if the disarmament goes well, it would not be a problem too. The rebels don't have mini rebels. They simply just broke off to join with the junta.

I am from Myanmar. There are several reasons, and also events that got us in this mess. Reason 1: Myanmar is a very ethnically diverse country with very different geographic areas, and difficult to unite. Event 1: General Aung San's assassination was probably made possible by different parties, including the British, and those individuals and groups in Burma who don't want Aung San and his administration due to ideology and for personal grudges. Reason 2: Outside forces who don't want a united Myanmar try to weaken the country via proxy wars through supplying the various ethnic armed groups and ideological armed groups. Reason 3. Individuals and groups who wanted power for themselves find the divided nation easier to rule (a colonial strategy of divide and conquer), and thus keep groups divided. Reason 4. Myanmar people have lived under strong men's rules (monarchy) and under colonial rule (also a monarchy) that they are used to being ruled by strong men who rule by force, so majority don't try to resist, and this is generally the older generations who also happen to hold the wealth. Reason 5. There are groups close to those in power who get to benefit from supporting those in power, and thus they want to keep the status quo. However, after 2021, there was a change in situation. Gen Z, who have lived for 10 years under a diluted democracy version created by the military junta, have tasted the freedom for a decade that many generations before them have not. These young men and women are currently those who are resisting the military junta.

I hope my country just find peace,i know the world is busy over other things like Ukraine,Russia and Middle east.

It was pretty obvious when they changed the name from Burma to Myanmar that they were moving in the wrong direction. Ostensibly the move was to distance themselves from their colonial past, but in reality, the name change was intended to justify an apartied state where a minority racial group intended to treat all the others as second-class citizens. Colonialism in and of itself isn't the answer to why a country doesn't develop. Singapore for example had a very different history post-colonialism. British Colonialism tended to just move into the top of existing feudal hierarchies as a new top tier in the region. For example in India, British happily moved in as the uber-caste above even the existing Vedic descended Brahmin caste, a move that was made even easier because of India's long preexisting tradition of foreign rulers who were of lighter skin than the native population. There is a strong overlap between the caste system and skin color, so the British pretty easily fit into an already messed up system. It's not like if you study pre-colonial history of Asia you don't find brutal ethnic conflicts, civil wars, and so forth. With Japan as an example, the functionality of the various Asian states strongly depends on how readily those nations were willing to drop some of their own cultural traditions to adopt Western standards. Nations that did jump started themselves into modernity, avoiding much of the long process of rising to modernity that took place in the west with things like the 30 years war, etc. etc. It's not like all this crap didn't happen in Europe during the transition from feudal and autocratic nation states to functional republics. If European nations prioritized their pre-existing culture and governing systems over transitioning to a functioning modern nation state and treated internal conflicts as still massively important after realizing how small the world was and how trivial whatever they had been fighting over really was, well then they are still struggling to thrive at a time when their culture is just not functional. I mean, this isn't even solely an Asian problem. Russia arguably has spent the last 100 years acting like it could never exist without some sort of Czar. England has refused to accept that as it's technological and governing advantages faded as more and more nations started acting like England, that it can no longer be a great power. And so forth.

This Democratic war might come to an end soon in 2025 but Myanmar has a big history and it won't be forgotten ever in History.

Imperial Japan commit a lot of war crimes in Asia, they are extremely brutal towards the conquered peoples and Burma Independence Army adopt such brutality from Imperial Japan and passed it on when it became the Tatmadaw. That's why Tatmadaw is so brutal towards its people, they are a legacy of Imperial Japan.

I remember most Burmese people were influenced by the Anti-muslim/Islamophobic propaganda from the military government. As a child, I remember some muslims and hindu(s) were treated quite differently in the Burmese communities but later during the democratic transactions and the changes in generations, many western ideologies were let in and the mindsets of the Burmese people started changing and the aspects for the Muslims changed. I grew up in a fairly Burmese-Shan society and as a Half Panthay (Hui) myself, it was transparent for me to see the changing aspects of the Burmese people against the Muslims. Democracy was a very valuable thing to have. I hope and pray that we will achieve it soon!

For Those who would like to know the update from Myanmar, the NUG(National Unity Government) has stated that Junta must be ended by the end of 2023. We see more frequent military movements from the revolution forces day after day. Those insurgents and ethnic forces that zwee mentioned in this video are now unified by the unforgiveable actions of Tatmadaw; with the ultimate goal of demolishing the dictatorship. Even though Tatmadaw has superior resources, armed-revolution forces are getting better in land warfare day by day with the numerous victories and reclaiming of territories and even a few cities. The biggest challenge that we faces is the air strikes which is the only last straw for them. Since more humanitarian aid will be coming from US this year, we will see how far we can thrive.
